A currency isn’t a security.

Never said it was did I?

@piluso

Cigarettes are a commodity in the normal world and they are definitely neither money nor currency, but in prison it is used as a default means of exchange for goods among prisoners it starts to behave like currency and it becomes a de facto currency.

That is understood. But it is not a prison we are in, its society under government rules.

That is why I am wondering if there is a good “category” that Safe fits better.

I think that “internet” might be right category. Until now it was not a “category”, but a single thing. We didn’t think there could be more than one of them. But the birth of Safenetwork changes the situation.

“Darknet” is not an option, because it think it refers to a subcategory of current WWW. Safenetwork is not one of those. Safenetwork makes the division of “hidden” and “public” network moot.

When I tell people about Safenetwork and Maidsafe, I usually say something like: “They are building new Internet.”

Yeap, i think that the term “XOR” (as used for network resources) is also not that good. XOR is just an implementation detail and that’s irrelevant to the end user. Why not call it network name or maybe id?
